Season Of Loving And Dying Poem by RIC BASTASA

i

the season of loving
is the song in the morning
you keep humming
because the love last night
was so warm

ii

on the next season
comes that of the dying day
when things are kept inside
for fear that others may steal them from us
when we lock the doors and windows
when we light a candle
in the darkness of our souls
when we seek sleep
because light begins to hurt
our eyes
when we take shelter on dreams
because reality begins
to hurt
